Steven Gordon Rask, 54, of Midfield passed away Sunday August 31, 2008 in Bay City. Steve was born June 1, 1954 in Fort Stewart, GA to Gordon Rask and Margie Harter Rask. He traveled with a military father and mother from Georgia, to North Carolina, to Alaska, and finally to Fort Hood, TX. Steve left home in 1975 to be on his own and would eventually settle down in Midfield, TX some 25 years ago. Steve was well known and liked by all who knew him. He was a meticulous carpenter who worked on everything from building new houses to remodeling and restoring many old ones. No job was too big or too small for Steve. He built his own home in Midfield, taking almost five years to complete his most beloved project. Steve would always go out of his way to lend a hand to any one needing help and his friendship will never be forgotten. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Steve is survived by his parents, Gordon and Margie, his two sisters, Susan and Teresa, his brother Mike, his wife Dorothy, her son Curtis, and so many friends whom he cared for and loved very much.
